The folks down there just told me about this and haven't had a chance to publicize it yet. Maybe it'll be on their website soon but it sounds like a longstanding ambition that just got the green light. I hope to be there although I last raced small boats (Lasers) in high school and big boats in college.

I tell you there was some really nice wind in that area last weekend. If it's like that on CD weekend it will be a really good time.
